 Lead PTW administration and SIMOPS coordination to support safe construction, commissioning and start-up
execution.
 Provide daily field HSE support (inspections, safety walks, PTW audits) and drive corrective actions to closure.
 Facilitate task risk assessments and verify implementation of critical controls in the field.
 Support incident reporting/investigation and HSE performance tracking.
 Collaboration with management to create an emergency response plan in case of a fire, gas leak or other
unexpected events.
 Implementing LOTO procedures, and developing contingency plans in case of emergencies. Additionally, I worked
closely with management to insure compliance with local and international regulations and minimize risks
associated with hazardous material handling, machine guarding, and fall protection.
Key Achievements
 Spearheaded a behavioral-based safety program, resulting in a 30% reduction in total recordable incident rate (TRIR) within 18 months.
 Developed and implemented a new digital PTW process, reducing average permit issuance time from 3 hours to 30 minutes within 6 months, significantly improving operational efficiency and compliance.
 Closed all compliance with all safety regulation during high risk operation by completely overhauling the PTW system and conducting mandatory training for 95% of staff within one year.

 Led the site-wide training and adoption of a revised PTW system, ensuring all personnel were certified and resulting in a 20% increase in hazard reporting within six months of the new systems launch.
 Led quarterly safety audits of the PTW process, identifying and resolving 100% of non-compliance issues within two weeks of each audit, and personally trained 150+ new hires on permit procedures annually.
